CMU is a good school. BUT, you have no fun, and the work is sometimes not very challenging. Quite literally, there is little to no social scene at this school. College is meant to be a time of growing both in academics and social situations. Well, I was in quite a few clubs, and even with that the social scene was atrocious. I would recommend NOT to go to CMU if you wanna have one bit of fun in college.

questionWhat will your tuition cost be?My nameis cherokee and im looking to go back to school for graphic design.I know nothing of the profession though.Do you think this will be a problem?Thank you for your time.
questionHello. my son is a high school sophomore. He is skilled in computer science and music. Many have recommended we look into CMU. Most of the reviews on this site are negative. I am very disappointed, but glad to know the truth. My son is very outgoing and loves camaraderie. If he has to study 24 hrs a day and won't get a chance to make/spend time with new friends, then he will be miserable. Is it really that bad at CMU? Thank you!
response^Not sure when your comment was written but hopefully it's not too late to save your son from this nightmarish place. If he is outgoing, he will be miserable, and even more so if camaraderie matters to him. Unless he joins a fraternity, no one here cares about each other or is interested in anything but studying. Yes, it is as bad as everyone says, I wish I had transferred.
